00:03never seen a hotel room this nice maybe it's just because we don't usually stay in luxury
00:09resorts but we're blown away check out the view i can't believe this is the nicest place oh my
00:18god i'm crying i've never stayed anywhere like this before it's actually like surreal i can't
00:23believe it like we're staring at a mountain right now overlooking like crazy rice paddies and we've
00:29got like a private pool and oh it's just insane oh my god i just feel so grateful
00:41it had been four years since we first stayed in a luxury hotel
00:52back then i remember looking around in disbelief
00:59thinking that a small country town girl like me could never have imagined a life like this
01:18to wake up in beautiful places
01:24to see the world
01:33to call this our life
01:43so
01:51so
01:57so
02:18and now to watch our daughter experience it alongside us feels even more surreal
02:31as we walked into this hotel
02:34i found myself quietly reflecting on how much life can change in just a few years
02:47the dreams that once felt so far away somehow have become our ordinary
03:00and for a moment i had tears in my eyes
03:08simply from the gratitude of being here
03:31sometimes i still feel like we don't quite belong in places like this
03:38even after all these years of travel there's still a small voice inside me that whispers
03:43this was never supposed to be your life
03:50a kind of quiet imposter syndrome that never seems to completely leave
03:56we were coming to the end of six months of constant movement
04:03airports suitcases
04:05new beds and new places
04:09we were tired in a deep kind of way that only comes from living too long out of rhythm
04:20truthfully we weren't even sure we would film here
04:24but it was just far too beautiful to not remember
04:28so cool
04:31so we slowed down
04:33we slept in
04:35we sat beneath the banyan trees and let ourselves be still for the first time in a long while
04:40below
04:46and below
04:55we put one
04:59please
05:00let's go
05:01to the end of hodel
05:02please
05:02we don't share
05:02yes
05:05in a cold
05:06shut é
05:07all
05:08out
05:08here
05:16this property is seriously amazing one of the bonuses of staying at this one is that you also
05:21get access to the property next door which is called golden sands which we're going to check
05:25out tomorrow it's a four-star resort whereas this one's a five-star golden sands is more
05:30like tailored for families i believe so it's got like a big playground and bigger like pool for
05:38kids and families so we'll go check that out tomorrow but there is still a lot of families
05:42and kids enjoying the pool here there's two separate pools there's adult pool and the kids
05:47pool and it's really nice because it's got these big trees so it's under the shade here in the middle
05:54of the day so we still get to enjoy the pool in the middle of the day when it's really
05:58hot and we've
05:59got a really nice sunny day today so it's much needed and free drinks all day it almost feels
06:04like it's all-inclusive because there's so many like different like tea times and snack times
06:10cocktail hour that type of thing um that's all included so it kind of feels like all-inclusive
06:15but it's not it's awesome
06:20one thing i think we've learned from traveling for so long is that it's not always about the big
06:26things sometimes it's about the tiny little details and that can include all the little mistakes that
06:32we previously used to make while traveling that cost us a ton of money one of the biggest mistakes
06:36we used to make was not having internet when we landed in a new country and what happens is you
06:41get off the plane you've got no data you're trying to find wi-fi you buy a local sim card
06:45or you hit
06:46with expensive roaming charges before your trip has even started and so these days we use yesim so
06:51before we got here we downloaded the app opened it up selected which country we wanted to travel to
06:56and then purchased the e-sim that suited us the best and for us that meant we could order grabs
07:00straight away from penang airport we could use google maps to get around places like georgetown
07:05and just make it really easy to travel in malaysia and if you're traveling through multiple countries
07:10they have the global plus and global packages which provide internet access across destinations
07:15worldwide and they also offer a pay and fly so you only pay for the amount of data that you
07:19actually
07:19use which is pretty cool if you've got a trip coming up we'll put a link down below in the
07:23description
07:23and if you use code lloydamandy you'll get 15% off your first yesim purchase all right let's go check

08:02we've just come down for the happy hour which is about an hour and a half i believe it's from
08:065 30 to 7 every every night and it includes like snacks you get like unlimited drinks and
08:13they just brought ice cream out for lila they've got a beautiful piano player playing like great vibes

13:32we go to the omelette station and you ask for an omelette and they kind of don't even acknowledge
13:37you and you just have to stand there for like five ten minutes hoping that they're making
13:42your omelette this one i literally walked up i said i'll get an omelette he said i said
13:48an omelette with everything he said cheese salt and pepper i said yep i went and grabbed
